Losing Weight

Ok so this will be the first of many posts.  I would like to commit to doing this everyday as I attempt to change my life in a good way via losing weight and gaining life.  For the most part it will be just a catalogue of what I ate that day but I'm hoping to also offer some insight into the process.  I currently weigh 258lbs down from a total of 303lbs when this started five (?) years ago.  In Dec 2011, I turned 58yrs old ( ya do the math, born in 1953).  I went to a nutritionist to get started but that was quite a bit ago and I didn't really keep up on all the advice.  I cut back but still couldn't keep from over eating at various times and that sabotaged my efforts.  I have learned though not to get too down on myself as it took me 58 years to get here so I'm not going to change things in a day. 

I just noticed that up above where I stated my weight(158lbs) at the moment (since edited) incorrectly, wishful thinking on my part or Freudian slip?

I have engaged a personal trainer for the next couple of months.  I started with her in Dec '11 for two sessions and have now been for three more.  We are talking cardio and lots of it.  She's writing work-outs that I feel confident that I can do on my own after I quit paying her to kill me.  During the summer I enjoy biking riding and have a great path that I can follow every Sat.  On week days after work, I am able to ride on the Whatcom Falls trails that run practically from the back door of my condo to get in more fun work.

Come back on Tues to see how I did my first day.  I will record every drop of food and drink that passes my lips and what work out I did.  I'm planning on going to the gym and doing one of Lorinda's (trainer) dumb bell work outs.
